Jeremy Renner, star of the upcoming The Bourne Legacy, has revealed that he would love to do a movie with the original Jason Bourne. Matt Damon who played the titular spy in the origin three instalments left the franchise with director Paul Greengrass following 2007’s Bourne Ultimatum.
Renner is set to play Aaron Cross, another super spy caught in an international game of cat and mouse. In an interview with ShortList Renner said: "They keep Jason Bourne alive, so who knows where they'll actually go with it.
"This one still has to be successful, but maybe eventually Matt Damon and I could do one together. That would be kick-ass. I love Matt. We've kept the name, the style, tone and format of what those Bourne movies are.
"It's a new programme like Treadstone with a new set of spies designed to do what they do.
"We're filming in Calgary until Christmas then go to the Philippines for a couple of months to finish it off.
"Everything about it is the same. The way it's shot, the pace, the ticking clock and the very visceral fights. It's down, dirty and gritty."
With big parts in the upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Marvel’s The Avengers, 2012 is looking like a great year for the talented actor.
The Bourne Legacy is due for release on the 3rd of August 2012.
